so should i wait or get some rams now? by the way, how is the overall performance of the penryn, yorksfield from your perspective>

hmm get some good proc coolers..the best
then rams..
then worry about what proc and mobo..

yorksfield i only had it for a few days..
and wished i can retest it again.
cause looking at what anandtech post..

can overcompensate the 400bus with 1000mhz CL4 with low trd's

hell yeah need 1.6v...that's the max my mobo can be set...i think my Biostar board holding me back to unleashed this babe...

im running 1000Mhz CL5 (vdimm under 2.2v)..my TRD is 8 if im not mistaken...

heheh dont pity me...i trying to find the sweet stable clock for this babe...Biostar doesnt hav detail setting in bios like Asus or Giga board...only simple tweaking very simple actually...
the other things is Asus and Giga had vdrop when load in window...but vise-versa for Biostar...it has v overload....not vdrop...

well im still playing around with this two pair...

so ur 4.1Ghz stable is using how much voltage???

have tried yet agin..
cause no 4.0 is 1.28v.
gaygaybyte is still plug and play on loose timings..

their x48 is still slow and the worst.. heck even slower then most x38's

ok this is my new stable clock....4.2Ghz@1.42v stable orthos for 1 hour + priority 9...dont have time to prime 6-8 hours....

vbios=1.45v
vdrop/load= 1.46v
vdroop=1.42v

guys
i know this is off topic but i wanted to know yeah, where do i get memset, most websites have the link but i cant download it. Also what are the timings should i put, since my motherboard as stated in the sig, doesnt have trd rating.

here u go my fren....

memset 3.4 download

MemSet35beta

That's a good one there 24 x 7 @ 4.2Ghz
Well done!

thx bro...going to try tighten the ram timing later..dont have much time to do...
another info....im using a thermal sensor with my aerocool gate watch panel..place at the side top plate of the E8400 ....idle is 32' load is 44' on wc...this is the most accurate temp reading i could hav...

@flat and Coolio
thanks bro's. now i can play with some tight timings.

I guess those temps makes a lot of sense. External temp sensor does the job for now until someone fixes it for Windows.

bro, your proc can do 500fsb prime stable?

I believe it's more on the board's capability than the chip
I did 8 x 500 on my MARS + E8400 earlier and it was alright.

maybe need more voltage...

ok minor update....tighten the timing

i wish i could do 500*8 but it seems rather impossible.

hmmm dude.. dont mess with memset other than

write to read delay.. max 3 dont go lower than that
trd ...
act to act delay max 3
read to precharge delay again 3..

advice go on 4 on all these trd..
and lower ure trd's..

then tighten..

hope u have a lot of voltage for ure NB.

oh yeah u need to play around with the GTL.. in a few cases where it was almost a stable voltage..
just need to shift the phase ..

i tried playing around with it but hmm this rams do have big limitations. I will try again playing around this settings, but i believe at the end of the day, the quality of the rams do count.

then first..
tighten the trd based on the speed ure rams were rated at preferably 1:1

learn from there..

trd stays only at 7 i cant go any lower, it was initially at 8. When i go lower, it reboots. Has it to do with voltage since i cant set it in memset. I initially did 1:1 and at 4-4-4-10. for the basic subtimings and tried adjusting it tighter, tomorrow i will play more with it. It does improve the bandwidth, especially read. I use everest benchie to check the change.
